Project GROWS is a 10-acre, youth-oriented community farm in Augusta County, Virginia whose mission is to improve the overall health of children and youth in Staunton, Waynesboro and Augusta County through community farming that includes hands-on experience, nutrition education, and access to healthy food. Project GROWS teams with children and youth at the Boys and Girls Club of Waynesboro, Staunton and Augusta County to offer various programs throughout the year. Their summer program allows them to learn growing and team-building skills and come away with a wider understanding of their food, nutrition, and health. The community farm also serves as host to public and private school groups who come to visit for hands-on learning. In 2013, Project GROWS developed a gardening curriculum that aligns with the Virginia Standards of Learning (SOLs), allowing educators to browse their Summer Curriculum and bring classes for a hands-on garden lesson.
